Also, these people are. Painfully unfunny. So awkward. Are they seriously unable to grasp the concept that this was simply done as a publicity stunt and that the girl isn't going to be an actual member of the group, or are they just overlooking it so that they can go "OH LAWLZ CRAZY JAPAN, U CRAZY."?

Seriously?!! That's so unfair! As IF they are going to let Atsuko lose! BAHAH That Aimi Eguchi looks terrible. Poor girl!

Is Takamina up against Kojiharu? Please let Minami win!

I pre-ordered Flying Get today, also found Shuumatsu Not Yet special edition still available so I grabbed that too. It's weird I wasn't a fan for so long but I am back (thanks to Cyrene's encouragement also...=D) Because they are so much more exciting. H!P is kinda boring lately. >.>

Anyone know where I can get the AKB starter pack from? It's called 'Starter Kit Ima kara de mo Maniau' - from 2007. It's very rare but there has to be some copies floating around somewhere. Jpophelp seems to be able to backorder it for me but I don't know how reliable they are. Anyone used them before?

^ I am a bit but it's alright, it went to someone who will probably get more out of it then me... >.> I can't believe you remembered that btw! I think eventually I'll just buy all the stages back. Starting with Team B. I am loving me some Tomo~mi right now.

I want Norokayo back in Senbatsu!

Speaking of, I have a spare copy of SKE48 CD+DVD Limited C of Pareo wa Emerald. So if anyone wants to trade, I want previous SKE/AKB/SDN limited edition singles.

Yeah pretty much.

I like the song ("Flying Get"), but it's still typical -48 for me. Did have to lol at them moving Mariko's microphone away yet her volume of her voice didn't change at all. (I think that's Mariko? I'm bad with their names )

Changes from last month:+Saeed Yokota Erena is seriously the cutest KKS ever! There's just something about her that screams "BE MY OSHI", so yes Erena, I will oshi you. FOREVER!!! (Or until you leave. I see her in Team 8 though!) That's why she is now so high on my list.

+Tomochin is finally in the high twenties! That's so much higher compared to when I first started ranking. Yay for realizing she sings all the things I like in Team K (lol).

(-) My DNW tier holds more Team 4 members than anything. I don't like a lot of the members in Team 4 just because...I don't! There's something about them that just doesn't scream genuine, maybe it's because I'm an oldschool AKB fan or something. Who knows.

I don't dislike Kojiharu as much as I used to but she STILL holds the microphone to her chin and it grates me like cheese. Inserted is my top peeps including SDN. Eventually i'm sure some SKE and NMB will be in there!

Yeah she probably is, but it's not like I dislike her for mean reasons. I just don't think she fits with AKB . Though I think I'm starting to dislike the other girls way more...at least Moeno looks normal.

Seller on H!O posted in the wrong section and I got in early, also managed to get Nogashita Sakanatachi Ltd edition, and Request Hour for an extra $40! I'm so happy! I first thought it seemed too good to be true, but they are all the region 2 ones. I can't imagine why someone would sell them so cheaply but I'm not complaining.

Maybe he has a girlfriend moving in who hates Jpop or something? He said in the post he needed to 'get rid of them straight away' - LINK - There's still some stuff left! Get it while you can! He only posted this topic 2 days ago and it's almost all gone already.
